Analysis of Nahwu Content in the Imriti Textbook

Abstrak

Purpose –The study of Arabic grammar (nahwu) plays a fundamental role in understanding Islamic literature, particularly through classical texts such as Imriti. This research aims to analyze the structure, strengths, and challenges in teaching the Imriti textbook as a primary reference in nahwu education. Design/methods/approach–Utilizing a library research method, the study explores the systematic organization of content, the relevance of the textbook, and the challenges of adapting it to modern learning contexts. Data were analyzed descriptively and comparatively against previous studies and classical nahwu theories. Findings–The findings indicate that the Imriti textbook possesses a strong systematic framework, encompassing foundational to intermediate grammar presented in a nazham (rhymed verse) format for ease of memorization. Its strengths lie in its structured and practical presentation. However, challenges arise from the limitations of traditional methods in engaging modern learners. The study also reveals that integrating digital technology and interactive approaches can enhance the relevance of the Imriti textbook. Research implications/limitations–The implications of this research highlight the necessity for pedagogical innovations in teaching classical texts to ensure their relevance to contemporary educational needs. The limitation of this study is its exclusive reliance on library-based analysis, suggesting the need for further empirical studies to evaluate the effectiveness of proposed adaptations. Originality/value –The originality of this research lies in identifying opportunities for adapting the Imriti textbook to technology-based learning, thereby reinforcing the continuity of Islamic scholarly traditions in modern education.
